Tyson Fury is dipping his hands in petrol every day ahead of bout with Deontay Wilder – GIVEMESPORT

Tyson Fury has revealed a bizarre new part of his training regime based on advice from the bare-knuckle boxing community.

'T'he Gypsy King', 31, is challenging for the WBC title for a second time against Deontay Wilder on February 22 after a controversial draw in the first bout between the pair.

Now, Fury has turned to his roots in the travelling community for advice to give him an edge in the next scheduled bout.

He told journalistGareth A Davies: I was speaking to an old legendary bare-knuckle fighter from the travelling community, hes called Big Joe Joyce.

He told me about dipping his hands in petrol, to toughen them up.

"So for this fight Ill be dipping my hands in petrol for five minutes a day during the last three or four weeks of the training camp to really toughen them up.

It worked for him, so Im going to give it a try.

This latest reveal comes a month after Fury admitted he would be masturbating seven times a dayahead of the fight to keep the testosterone pumping.

As far as training camps go, Fury's definitely sounds like one of the most unusual.

Fury largely out-boxed his opponent last time around, but it was 'The Bronze Bomber' who landed the power shots to put 'The Gypsy King' on the canvas twice during the fight.

It's pretty clear that Fury is looking for something to help him overcome the power of Wilder, who has won 41 of his 43 fights via knockout.

He'll be hoping that the combination of petrol soaked hands and masturbation helps him to victory later this month and sets up a potential unificationbout with Anthony Joshua in the near future.

Only time will tell if the unusual rituals work for Fury.
